If you plug in your smartphone to the charger at night, the Adaptive Charging feature keeps the battery charged to a minimum of 80% throughout the night. When it’s time to wake up, it’ll complete the rest of the charging process such that you’ll get a fully charged device. Currently, this feature is conflicting with wireless charging and you should disable it for the time being.

  1. Go to Settings -> Battery -> Adaptive Preferences
  2. After that, disable the toggle beside Adaptive Charging
  3. Check if the issue has been fixed

Method 3: Use safe mode

  1. Long press the Power menu for bringing up the Power menu
  2. Long tap on Restart and it’ll open the Safe Mode pop-up
  3. Tap OK and let the device boot to Safe Mode
  4. Check if the wireless charging issue still persists
